8 .3 Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems An automatic fire alarm system can provide early warning and notification of the development of a fire. It can t, however, assure protection against loss of property or loss of life. It is recommended that smoke and/or heat detectors and notification appliances be installed throughout the building in accordance with the requirements detailed in NFPA 7, local/state codes, and with the instructions supplied with the equipment. The type(s) of detector employed and their physical location must be selected carefully to ensure that they detect the types of fire likely to occur in the protected area. Even so, a number of factors may prevent the necessary levels of combustion products from reaching the sensing chambers and thus the system may not indicate an alarm condition. Heat detectors protect property, not life. Installation of a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, BUT it is not a substitute for fire insurance! Smoke detectors shall be installed in the same room(s) as the FACP, any equipment used for transmission of the alarm condition, and in locations where power supplies are mounted. Otherwise, a developing fire may damage the system and its ability to report the fire alarm condition. Refer to NFPA 7. The system will not operate without power. Standby batteries shall be properly maintained and replaced regularly. Regular maintenance will ensure that the system is operating at its optimum performance. Arrange a maintenance agreement with the manufacturer s local representative to ensure that the system is maintained by a professional fire alarm installer in accordance with National and any local/state codes. Maintain a written record of all inspections and maintenance performed.. General Installation Notes WARNING: Disconnect all sources of power (AC and battery) before installing components or servicing the system. DO NOT install/remove circuit cards while the FACP is supplied with power (either AC or battery). ENVIRMENT: INSTALL the equipment in a clean, dry environment. The equipment meets the requirements for operation at 3 F - 0 F (0 C - 9 C) and relative humidity of 5% RH. However, standby battery life is drastically reduced at higher temperatures. The recommended room temperature for installation is 60 F - 6 F (5 C - 7 C). WIRING: CHECK that the installation wire sizes are adequate to deliver the required load current and maintain compatibility with the specific device operating voltages. ATTENTI OBSERVE PRECAUTIS FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES USE an anti-static wrist strap whenever handling circuit cards. STORE circuit cards in static suppressive packaging. General guidance for installation and trouble free operation CAUTI: Acceptance / Re-acceptance Tests Following installation, or after any system change (including changes to operating software or configuration settings), the system shall be tested in accordance with the requirements in NFPA 7 and any local/state codes. All affected functions or devices shall be 00% tested. In addition, at least 0% of initiating devices not directly affected by the change shall also be tested. Follow the recommendations of NFPA 7. Must be Grounded A secure dedicated ground connection is required. Although no system is immune to the effects of lightning strikes, a secure ground connection will reduce susceptibility. The use of overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended. Page of 0

The address is set by removing pips on the XPerT card according to the chart below, which is supplied with each detector base. Once the address is set on the XPerT card, it is slid into the detector base and locked in place. Note: Addressing the AX Series detector at the base rather than internally to the detector minimizes errors associated with detector removal and maintenance. Page 3 of 0

24 Designed to adapt to changing environments and protect against unwanted false alarms, the response characteristics of each AX Series detector is set to comply with the stringent requirements of UL and NFPA 7. Each AX Series detector is continuously monitored and tested for proper sensitivity and operation. If a problem is detected with either the devices sensitivity or it s operation, a trouble or maintenance signal is reported back to the fire alarm control panel. AX Series detectors will compensate for any sensitivity drift of the initial programmed response/sensitivity value due to environmental contamination and/or dust buildup. Each detector maintains it s initially set sensitivity at a constant level even when the chamber is severely contaminated. When compensation levels exceed normal values, a maintenance signal (dirty detector) signal is generated. Each AX Series intelligent detector is capable of being field programmed for one of five response/sensitivity modes (see below). Response modes correspond to unique response behaviors of a detector and the type of environment Page of 0

25 it is protecting, which can be broadly related to the characteristics of a fire. The detector response modes relate to different combinations of smoke sensitivity characteristics and programmable assessment times, if utilized (see below). Response mode is more sensitive than response mode 5. Detectors set to response mode would be more suitable for environments in which sources of unwanted alarms are rare (i.e.: clean rooms and computer rooms). Response mode 5 set detectors would be suitable for more dusty or smoky environments (i.e.: boiler rooms, loading dock areas). Response mode 3 (default programmed) would be the mid-sensitivity level used for most normal applications. Response mode setting and hysteresis of the individual detectors are stored within the detector s memory. The storing of this critical information in the detector rather in the fire alarm control panel software allows the detector to maintain it s programmed response settings and compensated values even when power is removed from the detector. If the detector is powered down or inadvertently placed in another location, the detector response mode and clean values are not lost.

26 If an intelligent device is in alarm the AX Series panel will perform multiple assessments of the alarming device to ensure that the alarm condition from the device is valid. The value of the assessment time can be programmed by the installer during installation. Programmable assessment time fields range from 0 to a maximum of 0 seconds (0 to 0/30 seconds for Multi-Sensor detectors) from the first report of an alarm condition to the final validated (assessed) alarm condition. Refer to Front Panel Programming Manual or PC-NeT configuration Tool Manual for further explanation. Note: Programmed default values for assessment time: Detectors: Default 5 seconds. Maximum 0 seconds. Input Modules: Default 0 seconds. Maximum 0 seconds. USE CAUTI WHEN SELECTING SAMPLINGVALUE When an intelligent device enters an alarm condition the analog value of the device can be viewed by the panel s graphical display. Analog values for alarm are set at a value of 55. A pre-alarm value of 5 is set as a default for all intelligent devices; this field is programmable and can be set at a lower or higher level. Refer to Front Panel Programming Manual or PC-NeT configuration Tool Manual for further explanation. If an intelligent device falls below a minimum analog value the AX Series Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel will enter a trouble/fault warning (i.e.: dirty detector) condition for that specific device. Trouble/fault warning value is normally set at a value of with a programmable range of -0. In addition to all of the programmable capabilities of the AX Intelligent Devices, each device can also be setup for Special Sensitivity Mode operation. In this mode of operation devices can be set to perform different functionality based on time-of-day/day-of-week. Refer to Front Panel Programming Manual or PC-NeT configuration Tool Manual for further explanation. The AX Series Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel supports 0 independent, 7-day time clocks. Incorporating advanced failure-alarm monitoring, AX Series detectors continuously monitor communications with the fire alarm control panel. If communications fails, due to a signaling line circuit (SLC) processor failure, the alarm monitoring of the AX Series detector will continue to operate as long as a DC voltage is present. In this situation, the AX Series detector will automatically switch to a conventional alarm mode providing current pulses to the SLC loop if the device is in an alarm condition. These current pulses are recognized by the fire alarm control panel as an SLC loop alarm, and the alarm panel will activate its outputs accordingly. Another feature of the AX Series detector, in conjunction with the AX Series Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel, is its ability to sub-address detector base ancillary functions. Each AX Series detector is capable of incorporating, based on optional AX Series base utilization, a remote LED and/or relay. When these options are utilized, the user is capable of sub-addressing each of these options (remote LED and/or relay) to activate independently of the AX Series detector. Detector Functions: The panel supervises the connection to detection devices. The following are monitored and reported as trouble conditions Maintenance Alert Device Type Supervision Device Added Indicates that a detector has reached it s limit of compensation in it s chamber sensitivity due to environment contamination. It is now in a state where further contamination could mean the device is susceptible to false alarms. If an incorrect device type is replaced in a detector base.

29 AX Intelligent Modules AX Series Intelligent Modules offer a wide range of input and output capabilities. The communications is a digital protocol that provides a high degree of immunity to transient noise and interference. The protocol also provides a mechanism for a device to place an alarm flag on the communications data stream, providing a fast response (priority - refer to specific module options) so that the alarm condition is registered within 3 seconds. As with Intelligent Smoke Detectors, any Intelligent Module can be allocated to SLC addresses 6. The analog values returned by the devices are (Trouble), 6 (Normal) and 6 (Alarm). Each Intelligent Module; Inputs, Outputs, Pull Stations, and beam detectors are individually addressed using a DIP switch.

In DIP switch packages containing eight () switches, the eighth switch is for classification of wiring type Page 9 of 0

30 AX Intelligent Manual Pull Stations The AX Series Intelligent Manual Pull Stations (AX-APS) consists of a family of versatile, low profile, high quality addressable manual pull stations. Easily recognizable during a fire situation, the AX-APS stations are constructed of rugged die-cast metal for long life and reliability, with a high gloss red finish and raised white FIRE lettering. In addition to the rugged exterior, the alarm contacts of each AX-APS station are gold plated to prevent corrosion. The AX-APS stations are UL Listed and have been found to be in compliance with the latest requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Activation of the pull station meets the requirements for five pound maximum pull force, and the single hand activation. Available in either single (AX-APS-F) or dual (AX-APS-F) action configuration, the AX-APS stations are designed to prevent false alarms when bumped, jarred or shaken. The dual action AX-APS-F further deters malicious false alarms by requiring a two-process function for activation; first push the PUSH bar inwards which then allows the PULL bar to be grasped and pulled outward. Optional surface backboxes are available for indoor and weatherproof applications. The weatherproof backbox includes a gasket kit which must be utilized to meet weatherproof requirements. The AX Series Intelligent Manual Pull Stations are available in a variety of colors to meet various special application requirements. Colored stations do not include the raised white FIRE labeling, but are capable of accommodating labels for Alert, Alarm, Exit, Evac, etc. identification. Special applications can include; weather alert, door release, medical emergency, fire suppression activation and others.

47 ..5 LCD Indications :05 PM OCT NORMAL PANEL OPERATI (Press Menu to View) The LCD provides detailed information on the operational status of the panel. The normal standby state is shown above. Information is shown on the display in the following priority order: Fire Alarms Pre-Alarms Supervisory Events Trouble Events 3 Other Events including Disable, Test and Warning Conditions R7 Priority order is in accordance with Clause [] Signals associated with life safety [] Signals associated with property protection [3] Trouble signals associated with life safety and/or property protection [] All other signals During a fire alarm condition, pre-alarms, warnings, troubles, and other non-alarm events are suppressed from the graphical LCD display. These events can be viewed at anytime by accessing the navigation keys and the display s menu/view functions.. Fire Alarm Condition To minimize confusion and provide only pertinent information during an emergency situation, the AX Series intelligent fire alarm control panel when in alarm only displays alarm and if applicable supervisory events. The display also provides a tally of those two events. All other non-emergency events such as troubles, disabled zones/points, etc. are suppressed. These events however, can be viewed at anytime by accessing the panel menu and selecting the view button. There are a number of different display messages that are displayed on the AX Series graphical LCD during an alarm, depending upon whether the event is acknowledged or unacknowledged and whether supervisory events are present... Unacknowledged and Acknowledged Alarms with and without Supervisory Events When the system registers an alarm event, the alarm LED will flash, the internal buzzer will sound (continuously), and the display will indicate NEW ALARM IN ZE xxxx (unacknowledged event), and the zone/device messages for the specific device in alarm. The bottom line of the display will be highlighted and will indicate a tally of the number of alarms and supervisory events. Also, the notification appliances, relays and other outputs, depending upon programming options selected by the installer, will activate. During an alarm event, the display will only indicate the first alarm and a tally of any additional alarms and supervisory events. If multiple alarm and supervisory events are present the additional events may be viewed by scrolling (Scroll ) through the display. The (Scroll ) feature is only active when multiple viewable events are present. Page 7 of 0

This changes the red Alarm LED to steady, the internal buzzer silences, and the display will show ALARM IN ZE xxxx (acknowledged event) with zone/device messages for the specific device in alarm. Note: The AX Series panel acknowledges on a Global basis; all active events are acknowledged with the single activation of the acknowledge button. After acknowledgement the display will indicate the first alarm, and a tally of any additional alarms and supervisory events. To view additional alarm and supervisory events the user must scroll (Scroll ) through the display. Displayed events are based on system priority, and the order in which the panel received the individual event (i.e.: alarms are listed before supervisory, and each are labelled; st Alarm, nd Alarm, 3rd Alarm, th Alarm, st Supervisory, nd Supervisory, etc.). Note: The (Scroll ) feature is only active when multiple viewable events are present. When utilizing the scroll buttons if the buttons are not activated for approximately 5 seconds, the display will revert back to the st Alarm message.

Pressing the ACK button within the allotted output delay Stage - time period, will acknowledge the P.A.S. alarm, reset the output delay to a Stage - time period (Investigation Period), change the red Alarm LED to steady, silence the internal buzzer, and display ALARM IN ZE xxxx (acknowledged event) with the zone/device messages. Example of an acknowledged P.A.S. alarm: ALARM IN ZE 000 First Floor Conference Room 00 [PHOTO SMOKE ] OUTPUT DELAY 0s...ALARMS: SUPERVISORY: 0.. < Acknowledged P.A.S. alarm message < Zone text for zone in P.A.S. alarm < Device text message and type of device < Output delay Stage - time period < # Alarms and # Supervisory events The cause of the alarm can now be investigated. If the alarm is a false alarm and there is no longer smoke in the detector chamber, pressing the RESET button on the panel will clear the alarm condition. This must be done before the investigation time period expires, or the panel will enter a full alarm condition and will activate all notification appliance circuits, relays, and other outputs programmed by the installer. Note: If any additional alarms occur on the system, the P.A.S. output delay time periods will terminated and a full alarm condition will be generated activating all notification appliance circuits, relays, and other outputs programmed by the installer. In addition, activating a manual pull station at anytime during the P.A.S. output delay time periods will terminate the P.A.S. process and activate all programmed outputs. Note: The Positive Alarm Sequence feature must be enabled using the User Menu options. It can also be disabled (bypassed) by using the User Menu options. During a fire alarm, pre-alarm and/or supervisory condition all other events are suppressed from the display. Suppressed events during this situation can be interrogated through the display s menu functions. Page 5 of 0

55 .7 Alarm Verification R Alarm Verification [] Applies to smoke detectors only. Configuration must be password protected. [] It must not delay the actuation of alarms more than 60 seconds. [3] Alarms from other devices must actuate alarms without delay. The alarm verification feature operates on a system / device basis and is applicable to smoke detectors only. Manual pull stations are not verifiable. If the smoke concentration level of a detector is at or above the alarm threshold at the end of the retard-resetrestart period the panel will enter a full alarm condition. If the smoke concentration level is below the alarm threshold at the end of the retard-reset-restart period the panel will enter a 60 second confirmation period. If this or any other detector enters an alarm condition during the confirmation period, the panel will enter a full alarm condition. 6 Alarm Verification provides a mechanism to delay an alarm from a smoke detector due to transitory events. It should not, however, be used as a substitute for proper detector location / application or regular system maintenance. Maximum retard-reset-restart period is 30 seconds. Alarm verification shall not be used with multiple detector or cross-zone applications.. Multiple Detector Operation R Multiple Detector Operation shall be permitted provided the following are met: [] The system is not prohibited by the Authority Having Jursidiction. [] At least two automatic detectors are in each protected space. [3] The Alarm Verification feature is not used. Notification and other output signal circuits may be configured to only activate when two or more automatic devices within a detection zone enter an alarm condition. At least two automatic devices shall be placed in the protected space. The spacing shall be as per NFPA 7 and shall be no more than 0.7 times the linear spacing for public mode notification uses. Smoke Detectors employed in multiple detector operation must not be configured for Alarm Verification. Page 55 of 0

73 5 Maintenance & Troubleshooting The system shall be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the recommendations outlined in NFPA7. R7 Inspection, Testing & Maintenance The recommendations provide for weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual and annual inspections/tests. Adequate records shall be maintained to document all inspections, tests and maintenance undertaken. Trouble conditions and their resolution to normal shall be recorded. The AX Series range of intelligent detectors, employ a drift compensation and automatic sensitivity adjustment feature. The panel will indicate a trouble condition when the drift compensation reaches a point where alarm sensitivity cannot be maintained. The AX Series Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel provides integral electronic meters to check the operation of the batteries, charger, and input and output circuits. The charging voltage and charging current can be read from the panel display. The batteries are also automatically subjected to a load equivalent to full load during normal operation. If the internal resistance of either battery rises beyond approximately 0. ohm, then the panel will report a battery trouble condition. 5. Troubleshooting Designed with the technician in mind, each module of the AX Series panel is easy to install and service. All inputs and outputs of the Base Card are addressable and provide precise information of status condition. The power supplies offer status LEDs, temperature compensated charging, and the ability to operate directly from the batteries when AC supply is not yet available at the installation site. A user-friendly built-in intelligent multi-meter allows technicians to interrogate any input/output and diagnose potential time consuming trouble issues. In addition, to all of the AX Series internal capabilities, the Advanced's Remote Diagnostic Virtual Panel Simulator offers technicians the ability to access AX Series FACP s (w/integral modems) remotely. The Remote Diagnostic Virtual Panel emulates the onsite AX Series graphical LCD display and keypad in real time from an offsite location. 5..

78 6 Appendices 6. Device Additional Information For the AX range of intelligent detectors, special features are available from the Additional Info field of the Loop View/Edit display. It is possible to view the internal Drift, perform a rapid compensation or access any of the internal EEPROM memory locations. Press the button and a pop-up window is shown presenting a list of options. For example: [Loop Devices] <More> VIEW DRIFT RAPID COMPENSATI VIEW EEPROM Press the buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the button to confirm. 6.. View Drift The display then shows the AX Intelligent smoke detectors that the panel is reading (addresses that are blank are addresses allocated to pull stations, input and output devices). For example, select the View Drift option and the display shows: [Loop Devices] <More> Address Additional Info >00.0 AFSI Reading AFSI Reading AFSI Reading.. When the reading is complete, the display shows the drift within the device. For example: [Loop Devices] <More> Address Additional Info >00.0 AFSI Drift = 0% AFSI Drift = % 00.0 AFSI Drift = 0% 6.. Intelligent Smoke Detector Drift Compensation: The AX Intelligent smoke detectors include compensation for sensor drift as part of the internal signal-processing algorithm. The algorithm will compensate for changes in sensor output caused, for example, by dust in the chamber, and will therefore hold the sensitivity at a constant level even with severe chamber contamination. This increased stability is achieved without significantly affecting the detector s sensitivity to fire. The compensation level is stored in the detector s memory as a single value between 0 and 3. The normal level, that is, with no compensation applied, is 6. Values above or below this indicate drift towards alarm or away from alarm respectively. For compensation values in the range to 30 the detector is working within its allowable range. A value that is less than or greater than 30 results in a warning signal (i.e. detector dirty). A value of zero results in a trouble signal. The maximum compensation that can be applied is 3. If further drift occurs, the analog values will simply track the drift and the detector will become more sensitive. Page 7 of 0

79 Compensation values are stored in nonvolatile memory and will be retained even if detectors are disconnected. It is possible to use the control panel to ascertain the level of compensation applied at any time. The compensation algorithms are designed such that the detectors meet the requirements of the UL6 in all response modes Rapid Compensation As previously indicated, compensation for environmental conditions of an installation is a standard feature of all AX Intelligent smoke detectors. Approximately every hours, smoke detectors are evaluated and compensated (if required) for any changes to the installed environment, due to device contamination and/or dust buildup. A rapid compensation is a feature built into the AX Series Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel that allows the user to immediately compensate devices for their installed location. It is recommended that during commissioning or when replacing a detector, rapid compensation be performed on detectors to adjust them immediately to the present ambient conditions. Note: If rapid compensation is not employed on a replaced device it could take up to hrs before the replaced device is automatically compensated. Highlight the required AFSI device (AX Intelligent smoke detector), select RAPID COMPENSATI and then press the button to confirm. The panel will now instruct this device to perform a rapid compensation. This will take approximately 30 seconds. This operation must only be performed with the detector in clean air. No other operation should be performed on this device during this rapid compensation period. Page 79 of 0

80 R 6.. View EEPROM The panel can read any of the extended memory locations within the AX devices. Highlight any AFSI family device, select VIEW EEPROM and then press the button to confirm. The display will prompt for entry of the required extended memory address. For example: [Loop Devices] <More> Address Additional Info EEPROM ADDRESS=# Enter the required address (# = all intelligent detectors on that loop) using the number buttons and then press the button to confirm. The panel will now read the extended memory locations for all AFSI intelligent detectors on the loop.
